Admission & Application Survey |
| Masters in Journalism |
Medill requires an academic transcript, three academic or professional
recommendations, a 500-word personal statement about your journalistic
aspirations, a 800-word essay on a news topic provided by Medill, GRE
scores, resume, published clips or writing samples (optional). If you
want to be exempted from Medill's introductory journalism methods class,
you have to take the writing test, though usually only people with a
previous degree in journalism, or extensive experience get the
exemption. No interview is necessary, but you can attend a group
information session on campus.
On the application you are asked to choose in which media you would like
to specialize (Print, Broadcast, Magazine or New Media). Magazine is the
most competitive because the magazine project has limited space. Your
chances are better applying to New Media, which has had lower enrollment
than it would like. You can always switch tracks in the after the first
quarter. The administration may not like it, but there's always a
handful of people who do it.
